Eric Armit goes 'Behind The Results' to give us insight into last week's global boxing action

November 10

Sao Paulo, Brazil: Adailton De Jesus (24-4) W KO 2 Nelson Alves (4-10). Easy for De Jesus, who had Yuriorkis Gamboa on the floor before losing their October 2007 bout.

November 11

Deurne, Belgium: Jackson Osei Bonsu (31-3) W TKO 2 Domingos Nascimento Monteiro (19-14-4). Ghanaian-born former European champion bounces back from bad loss to Selcuk Aydin. After quiet first round batters mediocre opponent from Cape Verde Islands for stoppage.

November 12

San Diego, USA: Chris Martin (16-0-2) W TKO 7 Eduardo Arcos (15-1). Arcos was aggressive from the first bell, but once Martin got into the fight he dominated with his speed and accuracy and the Doctor ordered it off at the end of the seventh round.

Tizi Ouzou, Algeria: Light Welter: Ali Chebah (32-1) W TKO 10 Javier Prieto. A tough night for Chebah, who turned pro at the age of 16. He injured his right hand but wore down the tough Mexican and scored four knockdowns to retain his WBC Youth and NABF titles.

November 13

Las Vegas: USA: Bantam: Z Gorres (31-2-2) W PTS 10 Luis Melendez (26-4-1). Super Fly: Juan Alberto Rosas (31-5) W PTS 12 Federico Catubay (25-16-3). Welter: Mike Rosales (25-3) W PTS 10 Mark Melligen (16-2). Super Bantam: Robert Marroquin (11-0) W TKO 3 Anthony Napunyi (14-8). Super Feather: Diego Magdaleno (12-0) W PTS 8 Jose Nilson Dos Santos (13-1). The aftermath was more important than the bout as Gorres is currently in hospital in an induced coma after surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. The 27-year-old Filipino southpaw, who has a draw with Vic Darchinyan on his record, floored Colombian southpaw Melendez in the third and was dominating the bout. However Gorres was floored heavily in the last round and hit his head on the bottom rope. He beat the count and was awarded the decision on scores of 98-90(twice) and 97-91. He was on shaky legs at the bell, collapsed in the ring and was taken to hospital. Rosas fought on the inside and smothered the work of Filipino Catubay in their IBF title eliminator to win a unanimous verdict on scores of 117-111(twice) and 116-112. Aggression of Rosales too much for Filipino southpaw prospect Melligen, who was too negative. Rosales takes split decision on scores of 96-94 (twice) and 92-98 and snaps Melligen’s ten fight winning streak. Former top amateur Marroquin floors Kenyan with right cross for stoppage win and fellow amateur stand-out and fellow southpaw Magdaleno too busy and wins every round against Brazilian. Marroquin represented the USA against England as an amateur, beating Louis Browning and losing to Kallum D’Eath.

Detroit, USA: Light Welter: Vernon Paris (17-0) W TKO 2 Jesse Francisco( 3-11). “The Ice Man” returns after long lay-off, due to troubles outside the ring, and floors poor Francisco twice in first and again in second for stoppage.

Berlin, Germany: Middle: Thomas Troelenberg (20-0) W PTS 10 Marco Schulze (29-5-1). Light Middle: Frank Shabani (18-1) W PTS 8 Antal Kubicsek( 8-19-4). Troelenberg take 98-94 decision over Schulze in good battle. Shabani, who stopped Chris Saunders in 2007, returns after first loss and easily outpoints poor Hungarian 80-71.

Petit Quevilly, France: Light Welter: Chris Sebire(19-3) W PTS 10 Loic Foure (14-4). Sebire, a points loser to Mike Grant here in February, retains French title in first defence as he outboxes game Foure and scores last round knockdown. Scores 97-91 twice and 98-90, but does not reflect Foure contribution.

San Isidro de Lules, Argentina: Cruiser: Cesar Crenz (18-3) W TKO 5 Orlando Farias (17-9). Crenz retains Argentinian title as he floor 35-year-old Farias six times. Meyerton, South Africa : Welter: Chris van Heerden (14-0-1) W KO 1 Venance Mponji (15-13-2). South African champion, “The Heat”, puts Tanzanian down for count in first with a body punch.

Culiacan, Mexico: Feather: Ernesto Morales (18-4) T DRAW 3 Lizardo Moreno (36-8-1). Light: Oscar Meza (19-3) W TKO 5 Jorge Urias. Clash of heads sees Morales cut as he retains Mexican title. Meza, who turned pro at 17, makes it 17 by KO/TKO.

Deauville, France: Middle: Aslanbek Kodzoev (20-3-1) W PTS 8 Shalva Jomardashvili (26-1). Russian beats previously unbeaten young Georgian who is floored three times but only loses close decision.

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Heavy: Gonzalo Basile (42-4, 1ND) W TKO 8 Saul Farah (39-12-2). Towering over his opponent, 6’6” Basile retains WBC Latino title by flooring and stopping mediocre Bolivian in eighth.

Hua Hin, Thailand: Super Feather: Terdsak Jandaeng (36-3-1) W KO 5 Jack Asis (20-13-4). Super Bantam: Sod Looknongyangtoy (43-2-1) W T DEC 8 Richard Olisa (18-9-1). Southpaw Terdsak wins interim WBC ABC title as he floors Filipino Asis twice in fourth and puts him away in fifth. Terdsak’s three losses have been to Joan Guzman, Juan Manuel Marquez and Steve Luevano. Former WBO title challenger Sod in front with his counter-punching until cut in seventh and takes unanimous technical decision.

Koszalin, Poland: Super Middle: Piotr Wilczewski (24-1) W PTS 10 Demetrius Davis (19-7-5).Light Heavy: Roman Shkarupa (22-1-2) W PTS 8 Steve Kroekel (7-11-2). Light Welter: Slawomir Ziemlewicz (19-5-2) W PTS 6 Geir Inge Jorgensen (27-2). No sweat for Wilczewski who wins wide unanimous verdict for interim TWBA title. Poor match as Ukrainian Shakarupa outpoints German Kroekel, who is 0-1-7 in last eight fights. Upset as Norwegian Jorgensen loses majority decision to Pole. Jorgensen fought here back in 2000/2001 beating Leo Turner and Leeroy Williamson.

November 14

Las Vegas, USA: Welter: Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2) W TKO 12 Miguel Cotto( 34-2). Light Middle: Yuri Foreman (28-0, 1 ND) W PTS 12 Daniel Santos(32-4-1, 1ND). Middle: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (41-0-1) W PTS 10 Troy Rowland( 25-2). Welter: Alfonso Gomez (21-4-2) W T. DEC Jesus Soto Karass (24-4-3). Fly: Richie Mepranum (16-2-1) W PTS 6 Ernie Marquez (9-6-1).Middle: Matt Korobov (8-0) W PTS 6 Jim Winchester(10-3). Wonderful display from Filipino miracle Pacquiao. Cotto gutsy and made a fight of it in early rounds . Pacquiao hand speed, power and lateral movement too much for Cotto who is floored in third, takes a decisive count at end of the fourth and is cut and finished when floored again in twelfth. Puerto Rican’s corner wanted to pull him out at the end of the eleventh, but he refused to let them. Manny takes WBA title and makes history with his seventh title in seven divisions (if you count IBO titles, which I don’t). Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maximum culpa - I tipped Cotto to win, now there is no place to hide! In one-sided bout Foreman outboxes Santos to win WBA title. Young Belarus-born Israeli floored Puerto Rican in second, hurt him again in third and fourth and floored him again in twelfth to win wide points decision on scores of 117-109(twice) and 116-110. Foreman, a devout Jew, even managed to fit in Rabbinical training with his preparation for this fight. No knockdowns, but Chavez, up at middle, punches too hard for 34-year-old Rowland and takes wide decision on scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93. Rowland may have been distracted as his brother Shane, is in a Michigan hospital, and was placed in a medically induced coma this month with the H1N1 virus.Former “Contenders” star Gomez in front when he suffered a cut by his right eye in clash of heads. Gomez wins technical decision on scores of 58-54, 57-55(twice) for WBC Con Am title. WBC No 7 Karass loses two points for low blows which cost him chance of draw. Twenty-two-year-old Filipino Mepranum scores second round knockdown but then Marques takes over and split decision loudly booed. Russian Korobov, a former double world amateur champion, wins every round against North Carolinian.

Johannesburg, South Africa: Light Welter: Sam Malinga (22-6-2) W TKO 5 Pius Dipheko (8-8-5). Malinga, bouncing back after two losses, wins interim WBO African title as he takes a couple of rounds to look at Dipheko then cuts and floors him for nine to force stoppage. Malinga fought in Britain back in 2003 as a light welterweight when he stopped Colin Lynes in eight rounds and halted Ted Bami in three for the WBF title

The Hague, Holland: Heavy: Richel Hersisia (32-3) W TKO 2 Frank Roth (1-16-2). Rubbish match as Hersisia continues comeback. Hersisia was kayoed in four rounds by Audley Harrison in London in 2004 for the WBF title.

Cagliari, Italy: Fly: Andrea Sarritzu (30-4-4) W TKO 7 Chris Rodrigues (15-16-3). Welter: Luciano Abis (27-1-1) W TKO 4 Albert Starkov (13-12-1).Sarritzu regains his old title as he wins vacant European. Italian dominates bout before southpaw Frenchman retires at the end of the seventh with shoulder injury. Sarritzu, who lost and drew with Omar Narvaez in WBO title fights, is now 3-0-1 in four fights with Rodrigues. The Frenchman lost to Dale Robinson back in 2001.“Bazooka” Abis pleases hometown fans with stoppage of 36-year-old Estonian.
